About

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology from Georgia State University and spent four years working in veterinary medicine across a range of specialties, including small animal, equine, exotics, and emergency care. During this time, I discovered a deep passion for supporting others through emotionally difficult experiences, particularly while helping individuals navigate the loss of their pets. These moments highlighted the profound bond between people and their animals and revealed a gap in mental health support for both veterinary professionals and those grieving the loss of a beloved pet.

My clinical interests have grown to include grief counseling for individuals navigating loss—whether related to death or other significant life transitions. I have a strong interest in working with first responders, medical professionals, and those in high-stress, service-oriented roles.  I am committed to supporting those who care for others while often carrying the weight of navigating the unique demands and emotional impact of their work. As a first-generation, bilingual therapist who speaks both English and Spanish, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities. I aim to create an inclusive and accessible space where clients can express themselves fully and authentically.

As a counselor, I prioritize building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients, as I believe meaningful and lasting change happens through genuine connection and collaboration. My approach is centered on helping people explore their experiences, make sense of their emotions, and feel more grounded and connected as they move forward. When working with grief, I focus on walking alongside clients in their process, honoring their loss while helping them find ways to carry it with support and care.
